Sarah Michelle Gellar and Jennifer Love Hewitt apparently haven’t spoken since 1997, when they costarred in I Know What You Did Last Summer. But that’s not because there’s any bad blood between them. “On my side, we’re good. I have no idea where this is coming from,” Hewitt recently told Vulture. But though both attended the premiere of the film’s recent reboot, they did not pose together on the red carpet—inspiring more rumors that their relationship is in a fine moment. This time around, the Buffy the Vampire Slayer star spoke out against them.
“For everyone asking—I never got to see @jenniferlovehewitt, who is fantastic in the movie,” Gellar wrote on Instagram. “I was inside with my kids when the big carpet happened. And unfortunately JLH didn’t come to the after party.
“If you have ever been to one of these it’s crazy,” Gellar added. “I sadly didn’t get pics with most of the cast. But that doesn’t change how amazing I think they all are. Unfortunately, some things happen only in real life and not online.”
Speaking of real life: Gellar and another I Know What You Did Last Summer star, Freddie Prinze Jr., have been married since 2002. “I root for her and Freddie,” Hewitt said last December during a podcast appearance. “I think it’s the cutest thing in the world that they’ve been married for 100 years and have kids. It’s adorable. So it’s just been really funny to see all of this stuff.”
Hewitt has spoken candidly about a number of topics, including the criticism she’s received about her physique. She told Vulture that she felt insecure for the first time after a People magazine cover that pictured Hewitt in a bikini and this as the headline: “Stop Calling Me Fat!”
“I don’t know that I’ve ever recovered from it,” Hewitt continued. “Because there’s a part of me that’s always like, Is this version going to be good enough, or is that going to happen again? Where somebody’s going to be like, ‘Hey, this is her without makeup at the cleaners. She looks 59.’”
On the Breakdown podcast, hosted by Mayim Bialik, Hewitt also explained how she felt when, as a teenager, she first faced the male gaze. “There were grown men talking to me at 16 about my breasts, openly on a talk show. It was a culture that was fully accepted,” she said. “In hindsight, it was very strange, I think, to become a sex symbol before I even knew what that was. I didn’t know what being sexy meant, and I was on the cover of Maxim, and people would openly walk up and be like, ‘I took your magazine with me on a trip last week.’ I didn’t really know what that meant, you know? It’s kind of gross.”
Hewitt also told Bialik that when she saw a Britney Spears documentary in 2021, she identified with the singer—and applauds how much things have changed since then.
